#23762 Juan Romero

The composition presents a stylized cityscape rendered in a vibrant palette dominated by reds, yellows, and blues. The artist has eschewed realistic representation, opting instead for geometric simplification and expressive color relationships. Buildings are depicted as blocky forms with sharply angled roofs and windows that appear more like decorative elements than functional openings.
A central tower, painted in deep blue, rises above the other structures, its pointed roof drawing the eye upward. Surrounding it are buildings of varying heights and colors, each possessing a distinct architectural character despite their shared geometric vocabulary. The use of warm tones – the oranges and reds – suggests warmth and vitality, while the cooler blues introduce a sense of distance or perhaps introspection.
The ground plane is rendered in muted earth tones, with what appears to be a scattering of small, indistinct shapes along the lower edge. These forms are difficult to decipher but contribute to an overall feeling of density and complexity within the scene. Above, the sky is textured with short, broken brushstrokes in shades of white and blue, creating a sense of movement and atmospheric depth.
The painting’s subtexts revolve around themes of urban life abstracted from its literal form. The lack of human figures suggests an exploration of architecture as an independent entity, divorced from everyday activity. The deliberate distortion of perspective and the flattening of space contribute to a dreamlike quality, implying that this is not a depiction of a real place but rather a symbolic representation of a collective experience or emotional state associated with urban environments. The overall effect is one of playful experimentation and a rejection of traditional representational conventions in favor of an expressive exploration of form and color.
